Manager remains calm despite his side taking one point and scoring no goals in opening three Premier League games
Unai Emery is not panicking. He may kick every ball on the touchline but, behind closed doors, Aston Villa’s players are used to him being the calmest person in the room, routinely more demanding after victory than defeat. John McGinn tells a story in which the Villa manager, early in his now almost four-year tenure, broke character and lost his cool during a half-time interval not owing to a lukewarm performance but because he witnessed his captain tearing into teammates. In Emery’s eyes, it was McGinn expending unnecessary energy rather than seeking solutions.
Emery, McGinn and Villa have been here before. Just last season, in fact; at this point, they were pointless in the Premier League and still another 157 minutes from registering their first goal. So in one sense Villa, who shook off a slow start to qualify for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons, are ahead of schedule. Villa’s goalless draw at Hull on Saturday was not the most absorbing display but there were enough green shoots to trust Emery when he says he is confident they can again exceed expectations.

New York mayor Zohran Mamdani is set to come face-to-face with Rudy Giuliani at the main September 11 memorial service, just days after the former mayor – who led the city at the time of the 2001 terrorist attacks – disparaged his Muslim religion and said he should skip the ceremony.
In an interview with right-leaning Newsmax at the weekend, Giuliani said: “Having lost friends there and being very close to many of the families, it offends me that he’s coming.”

Rybakina sweeps aside Osaka 6-1, 6-4 to set up clash
The most important takeaway from 12 days at the US Open is simple: do not, by any means, lead 5-0 against Zheng Qinwen. No scoreline is as hazardous. On Friday, the former Australian Open champion Madison Keys learned this lesson the hard way as she led Zheng 5-0 in the final set of an intense tussle before Zheng, the Olympic gold medallist, rolled through seven consecutive games to win the match.
Somehow, two days later, Zheng repeated the trick in her very next set against a greater opponent. Down 5-0 in the opening set of her fourth-round match against the six-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek, Zheng again locked down her game and reeled off seven games in a row to take the set. Zheng refused to let it go as she pulled off one of the best wins of her career, reaching the quarter‑finals of the US Open with a 7-5, 6-3 victory.

PARIJS (ANP/AFP/DPA) - Personeel van de Eiffeltoren heeft maandag het werk neergelegd uit verontwaardiging over een besluit om vrouwelijk personeel weg te sturen. Dat gebeurde toen een hindoeïstische groep onlangs de populaire bezienswaardigheid bezocht.
Boze medewerkers veroordelen in een verklaring de "professionele instructies die ertoe leidden dat vrouwelijke medewerkers op een zijspoor werden gezet, vervangen en onzichtbaar werden gemaakt op basis van hun geslacht".
Uitbater SETE erkent dat de hindoeïstische groep wilde dat het aantal "interacties met vrouwen" beperkt zou worden. De organisatie stelt dat die voorwaarden niet geaccepteerd hadden mogen worden.
Burgemeester van Parijs Emmanuel Grégoire sprak schande over het voorval en kondigde een onderzoek aan. Ook minister van Gelijkheid Aurore Bergé reageerde ontzet: "In Frankrijk vragen we vrouwen niet om zichzelf te wissen. Geen enkel dogma, geen enkele religie staat boven de wetten van de republiek."
PARIJS (ANP) - De Franse president Emmanuel Macron wil dat de toegang tot sociale media voor jongeren onder de 15 jaar in Europa wordt verboden. Dat blijkt uit een brief die het Franse persbureau AFP heeft ingezien. De brief is gericht aan voorzitter Ursula von der Leyen van de Europese Commissie. De Franse president vraagt in de brief om een Europese wet, nadat de Franse Grondwettelijke Raad in augustus Frans wetgeving verwierp.
Macron hoopt dat hij het verbod alsnog kan invoeren voor zijn tweede ambtstermijn volgend jaar verloopt. "Het is nu essentieel om verder te gaan en via een nieuwe Europese tekst een verbod op toegang tot sociale mediaplatformen voor jongeren onder de 15 jaar te harmoniseren", citeert AFP de Franse president.
Naast Frankrijk zijn al meerdere landen bezig met het verbieden van sociale media voor kinderen. In Australië is het voor jongeren onder de 16 jaar verboden op sociale media te zitten. Ook onder meer Nederland, Spanje, Denemarken en het Verenigd Koninkrijk overwegen een dergelijk verbod.
The EV blog Electrek reports:
A Clinton Township, Michigan man was charged $418 for a single EV charging session at Elder Hyundai's Macomb Township store after finding the charger listed as publicly available on the EVgo app, but didn't discover the charges until after wrapping up his 40-ish minute charging session. "I was flabbergasted," explained Stanley Kpenkann, who had been driving a rented Chevy Bolt EV at the time. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be saddled with a bill of $418 for a charging session."
After calling EVgo to report the error, he found that the exorbitant charge wasn't a mistake at all - Elder Hyundai was charging customers an eye-gouging $5 per kWh, plus another $5 for every minute connected.
A local news report notes that "After back-and-forth with EVgo, the company processed what it called a goodwill refund of $405." (And the dealership argued their charger was reserved for its own customers and vehicles, so they set prices high to deter outside use.)
But Electrek argues the story "speaks to much larger problems among the EV charging business in particular and car dealerships in general..."
[In June] Plug & Play EV's Steve Birkett took to LinkedIn to call out his local Hyundai dealer in Union, NJ for charging a ridiculous $15 per kWh to top off his IONIQ 5 (!)... Even worse, he noted that a number of area dealerships that had listed their ports as "public" were actively discouraging public use with signs and stickers designed to turn people away...
[U]nlike gas stations, EV charge point operators in many states aren't required to clearly advertise what they'll charge before a driver plugs in in the same way that gas stations are: with clearly legible signage that's visible from the street.

Toch knap. Vroeger stond Odido alleen bekend om de slechte service, maar sinds vorig jaar toch ook om het lekken van ontiegelijk veel gegevens van hun klanten. Allemaal dankzij een stel hackers. En het mooie is, iedereen praat altijd wel óver hackers, maar hoe vaak komen ze nou zelf aan het woord? Vanavond in ieder geval wel, bij Opsporing Verzocht waar we met zijn allen konden luisteren naar De Stem Van Een Hacker. Hoort u het ook eens van een ander. Ideaal speculatievoer natuurlijk, dus zegt u het maar, wat zegt deze stem over deze hacker?

Een Israëlisch investeringsfonds en de Duitse deelstaat Nedersaksen kopen een fabriek van Volkswagen op. Het is de bedoeling dat de Israëlische wapenfabrikant Rafael er op termijn wapens gaat produceren. De constructie zou zijn bedacht om een veto van Qatar, een grote aandeelhouder van Volkswagen, te omzeilen.

In dit liveblog houden we je op de hoogte van het belangrijkste en meest opvallende 112-nieuws van maandag 7 september.
Op de Noordendijk in Dordrecht zijn maandagavond twee auto's met elkaar in botsing gekomen. Een van de voertuigen werd daarbij in de flank geraakt en is flink beschadigd. Hoe het ongeval precies heeft kunnen gebeuren, is nog onduidelijk. De politie doet onderzoek naar de oorzaak.
Tijdens de Wereldhavendagen afgelopen weekend was het niet moeilijk om havenwerkers en zeevarenden te vinden met tatoeages, waar ze van oudsher om bekend staan. Rijnmond vroeg of iemand misschien spijt had, maar in de Rotterdamse haven is iedereen er alleen maar trots op.
The first trailer for You Can See Everything, a new documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about Elizabeth Holmes. The doc got a surprise drop at the Telluride Film Festival and gets a wider release in October.
Early reviews and choice quotes from the festival:
Early reviews and choice quotes from the festival:
- Fielder himself seems baffled by it all, stunned that an innocuous idea turned into a three-year trip into the mind of Elizabeth Holmes, no holds barred or expected. "What I am really excited about is for you to see the movie and tell me what I experienced," he said during a Q&A following the first public screening at Telluride. "I don't know why they wanted me there. Why am I there?"
- What I can tell you is this documentary uncovers complex new layers to the Holmes saga and pushes the boundaries of nonfiction filmmaking into new, uncharted terrain.
- The pairing is the story. Two artists obsessed with how the camera warps the thing it records, turned loose on the most studied liar of the century.
